The statement further indicated that the film would start showing on Yorubaplay YouTube channel from May 30, 2024.

Dwelling on the synopsis of the film, the statement added, “Just a Word is a tragic story of Mr Owolabi, a stubborn man, who refuses to thank God when things were going smoothly for him.

“He refuses to utter a word of prayer or speak positivity into his life, even when faced with adversity. As his word crumbles around him, will he break his silence and speak life into his reality, or will his stubbornness seal his fate? You will get to know when “Just a Word” starts showing on YouTube. It’s full of drama and emotions.”

The movie, which is under the direction of Dele Michael, featured experienced role interpreters which included Akin Lewis, Jaiye Kuti, Adeniyi Johnson, Ayo Olaiya. Taiwo Ibikunle and Kamo State.
